Par Quotations | Page 2

The day started out kind of bland, then I made a couple of good par putts early and got things going, ... You always feel good when you play like this. I'm going to have to put up some similar numbers the next two days.

There are a lot of people struggling, thinking that they need to do this and be involved in the new economy, and they have no idea what they are doing. That's all par for the course, and part of the normal process of any capitalist-driven economy. It's unfortunate, but it's reality -- shake out those that can't from those that can.

While my six-song EP is unlikely to set any sales records, it's one of my biggest personal achievements - on par with starting my own company. On par with selling my own company.

Too many people try to put these championships on a par with the world championships or the Olympics but they are not -- never have been, never will be.

Thomas made birdie there and I thought, 'Here we go. It's down the stretch now'. But I've been in that position before and decided to just try and make my par at the last and let Thomas try and come at me. Fortunately it worked out.

This should have been on par with meeting the challenge of Sputnik or putting a man on the moon,

When you get to the tee on a really long par 5, I know what you're feeling. You want to let the shaft out on the driver and try to bomb it down there. I get the same feeling. But a big tee shot is not always the best strategy, especially on a long hole.

With computers nowadays and the Internet, the average investor can be a financial genius. You now have databases . . . which put you on a par with the top money managers.

With that green and the way the wind swirls in that corner of the golf course, playing that hole in even par over four days is going to be really good.

Within the U.S., you could have argued that most people who watch 'Mad Men' would watch 'House of Cards.' But the viewing is much more on par with the large-scale mainstream things like 'The Walking Dead.' It was much younger than we thought.

We had some personal records today and we had some other records who were right on average. I think the coolness and the wind died out about race time. The times were about on par and some were a little quicker today. It was a big race, when we get these kind of numbers, times tend to go down.

The reason the Road Hole is the greatest par 4 in the world is because it's a par 5!

The reason the Road hole at St. Andrews is the most difficult par 4in the world is that it was designed as a par 6.

We've been living with that (coup fears) for the last couple of months. It's par for the course.

This was the way we wanted to start. Our goal was to shoot even par or better, and we accomplished that. I thought the girls stayed focused on their scores and their shots. We need to continue that focus tomorrow.

What Cuba has shown to the world is not only that we could play up to par with other major leaguers. We are not professional, we are amateur. We don't get paid for doing this. We deserve a high place in baseball because we do this with sacrifice, with human value and courage and sportsmanship, and because we give our utmost in order to come to the field and show what good baseball is all about.

We are certainly not out of the woods yet. Growth is still well below par - just hitting the euro-zone average - and with consumer spending dropping and the pressure piling on exports to take up the slack, we could be in for a bumpy 2006.

To be honest with you, I had a couple of good up and downs for par towards the middle part there when the wind got a little bit swirly. So making pars was good. Then the birdie at the last and not making any bogeys was key.

We are anticipating at least as good a turnout for the opening of the actual house, and media interest so far has been on a par with what it was when the garden opened, which is a big factor in getting people to visit.

Every single night, seven nights a week, thousands of people are out spending money at live music venues. You get eight Bears games a year drawing 60,000 people, but many, many more come to our venues over the course of a year. Every night of the week in Chicago is a music festival on par with anything in New York, L.A. or Nashville.

At that stage both of them were level par for the round and level with each other. To tell the truth I can't remember any of the shots, so that shows you it wasn't exactly memorable stuff.

At that point, the momentum had switched entirely, and now it was whether or not I can par the rest of the holes coming in.

There's no thought into getting a hole-in-one. When I go to a par three my main objective is to get the ball on the green,

I've been doing that since I was little. It's a breathing thing. Sometimes I don't even know I'm doing it but I'm not up to par when I don't.

I've been on top of leaderboards before a few times, but never by seven shots. I've got a few to play with and I intend to just relax and enjoy the finish. I could have been a few more under par if I hadn't missed the short putts, but the key to me doing so well is because I'm rolling the ball so well on the greens and I only missed one fairway today.

The wind has been blowing differently and the par fives played easy as it was blowing downwind today. You can't win a tournament in the first round so I'll just hope to keep playing well,

The wind came up about the seventh hole. Fortunately, I was four-under before that. I had the eighth hole, a long par three, and it was straight downwind. That actually helped on that hole.

The wind blew the scores up a little bit. All our guys were bunched around 75. We needed one person at par or below.

I've never played with him actually but he is a great player. I'm just going to have to go out and shoot a good score. You can't look at it in match play terms, but if you get to five or six under par then anyone is going to struggle to beat you. I know the crowd will be with him but that's not going to affect me. It'll make it all the more fun if I win.

It was very cold. Fortunately I had that downhill par 5. If there's a hole you want to tee off on when you're real cold, it's that one.

It was very windy and tough to play, but our kids all played well that day. We've had three different guys shoot par or better now and a couple others are only a shot or two behind, so that's pretty good stuff.

The third green is pretty severe for a 245-yard par 3. The right side of the green goes up and down. It looks like something I skied down a coupled of months ago.

Sonya Thomas put on one of the great athletic performances of the year. It was a triumph on par with the great feats witnessed in Athens just weeks ago, and it's going to take an extraordinary effort for her record to be broken.

Sonic and I were chatting back before we got on and he was telling me how proud he was to be inducted last year in the Walk of Game. The only thing he was a little concerned about was being walked on all the time. I said that's OK; it's par for the course.

Tennis Australia wishes to pay tribute to Paul for his efforts over the past 12 years which have established the Australian Open as one of the world's marquee sporting events. His creativity and energy helped elevate the Australian Open to be on a par with the other three Grand Slams and set a benchmark for major sporting events in Australia and around the world. He leaves the Australian Open in a very healthy state after another hugely successful tournament.

Rose has had adventures and she's a lot more confident as a companion. She's on a par with the Doctor, more so than last year. She's seen some incredible things, terrifying things. This time she's more experienced as a woman, as a companion; she does everything with more conviction. There's stuff that she understands a bit more, so it's a natural progression.

Put it this way. If I hit a couple of bad shots, I feel like it's not the end of the world. I can fit it and I can move on and I can still post a really good number. Before, it would be damage control and somehow try and wheel around it and shoot somewhere around par or even under par. But that's not the case.

Performance had been mixed early in the year, but they finished on par with last year after a strong second half.

Coming to the South Course, if I played like I did yesterday, I probably would have shot over par because I couldn't hit a fairway. Today, I said, 'All right, you're going to have to tighten things up.' Fortunately, I did. I drove the ball real well.

Coming to the South Course, if I played like I did (Thursday), I would have shot over par because I couldn't hit a fairway. I had to tighten things up and drive my ball well to score out here.

Denny had an excellent score on a difficult course today. He shot a one-under par on the backside which was impressive.

As a group of players, with the season that we've had, it somewhat validates what we've done, adds a bit of legitimacy to this team. When a player of his stature comes in with a no-trade clause, he's usually looking to go to one of the bigger teams, like the Rangers . So this isn't par for the course.

A win is a win. I'm proud of our two seniors, Jamie and Brittany. They weren't feeling up to par today, but they gave it a good race.

A win in Chevy's final race would be unbelievable. I'm almost in tears that Chevy is going from the series with all the horsepower we've got. I think Chevy is now on par with the Honda on the ovals.

A win in Chevy's final race would be unbelievable, ... I'm almost in tears that Chevy is going from the series with all the horsepower we've got. I think Chevy is now on par with the Honda on the ovals.

Azalea. If it's not the best par 5 in the world, it's right up there.

This is probably the most challenging course we'll see all year. We really need to respect par - we can't afford to be trying to get too many birdies.

The way Phil's playing, ... it's going to be hard for myself or anyone else over par to catch him.

This is a game that we as a team always look forward to. Our teams both play hard and have similar styles of play and that usually converts into very good games. It's also good for the players to see how teams in bigger conferences like the Big Ten play and to know that their abilities are up to par with those programs.

They've been working hard on their games this year. I had them doing a lot of short-game practice. We practiced on the par 3 course, a lot of chipping and putting, really concentrating on the short game, trying to eliminate some strokes. Everybody has cut three or four strokes off their rounds this year. We'll keep doing the same things we've been doing all year and hopefully it'll work out for us.

A lot of guys can shoot par around their own golf course. Playing tournament golf is a little different. It's a lot more difficult than they think it is.

They are a team that is on par ability-wise with Boston College. People miss them due to their tough schedule so far. This will be considered a big game against one of the upper echelon teams in our league.

This is the most complete team, the most balanced team I've had in my 10 years at Marshall. We have three lines that can score and we don't give up many shots. We're right on a par with last year's team.

They haven't made any big mistake yet. It's not been perfect, but chaos and confusion is par for the course.

There's expectation that rates will go higher. Why buy on par when the price will be less than par next week.

At first, we reckoned a par score would be about 200, but we revised the figure down when we realised how much moisture there was on the ground. Dougie bowled superbly and was on an hat-trick at one stage. He deserved his excellent return of four for 23.

It's essentially the USC that helped move this project along and we're in support of it, but obviously we will follow whatever our students say. I think everybody recognizes Western's recreational facilities aren't up to par and we need to improve student recreation on campus.

It was a lot of fun. I played pretty well. I missed a couple there at the end, but made a couple good putts as well in the middle of the round. I made a couple good par saves that kind of saved my round there.

It was really tough. When we teed off it was freezing. Par today was probably 2 or 3 over. Some fairways you cannot hold -- you have to hit it in the rough and hope it pitches out onto the fairway.

It's about par for the course for us. We're doing all right. We have to fill some big holes. There are a lot of question marks.

It puts us on par with much larger communities. It moves us to a different level.

It's not that surprising that Apple wasn't up to par because they went through the transition from Power PC (chips) to Intel.

It looks pretty boring, but it was as exciting an even par as there's ever been for me. If I had not made a bunch of 6- and 8-footers, I'd have shot 80. I got up and down from shoe boxes on a couple holes.

It looks like another strong quarter and it's becoming kind of par for the course for Hurd. The upside was driven by the imaging and printing business as well as strength in the core PC market.

It's going to you know, I can't go out there and shoot par and win. Everybody is playing well, and I think you'll have to go out tomorrow and have 4, 5, 6 under par probably.

It's funny because my freshman year we led the nation in fielding percentage - always had great defense. This year I've seen signs of awesome defense, but it's not consistent. Our team defense isn't up to par yet and I think it has cost us some games.

It's a very serious negative item on your report, on par with a tax lien or a bankruptcy. You will definitely pay more for your credit, in higher interest rates and higher down payments.

It's safe to say this job is on par with the volume and intensity of what she's used to, if not below it.

It's par for the course in terms of warnings, ... There have been 301 pre-announcements so far, and 56 percent of those have been negative.

It's unbelievable the difference. The big one to me is No. 5, which was a tough par 4 before. I don't think it needed any length, but it got it.

That's pretty much been par for the course lately. I'm hoping we're improving with as easy as we're making things look.

It's nice to get under par and play with house money for a change. You can love a place, but you still have to perform.

Everyone expected us to win and they had nothing to lose. They played really well. We were seven or eight under par but still lost.

It's definitely a good way to start, ... I definitely played the par 5s well. With five par 5s out here, you've definitely got to get them.

I walked off the second green and told people they need to go watch football. Obviously, some guys are playing good. But to see pros in the teens over par starting the season? That's not a lot of fun.

I've got to stay patient and build on it each and every day. Patience helps and at least I'm still in it. There won't be too many guys under par by the end of the week and hopefully I can get myself there over the next three days.

It was a good par on 16 and 17 was key. I got to make that putt to even have a chance. Those putts on 17 and 18 were the two best putts I hit all week and they came at the right time. I'm delighted with the way I finished. I finally finished a round off.

It was one of those chips, that if I play it well, I can get it within eight feet and make par that way, and instead it went in.

It was a disappointing way to end. But it was so slow and the pins were pretty brutal so under par was okay.

It went right through the net. The ref said that the net bulged but he wasn't sure whether it was a stick that caused it or not. Their goaltender told our players it went right through the net. That's par for the course the way our luck has been going.

It was just a really good day. I drove the ball well and think I hit every fairway. I think I maybe missed one green, but then I chipped in for par on 10. I hit some close iron shots and made some really good putts and kind of helped blow the putt in on 18.

They both played extremely solid, very consistent in all aspects of their games. If we can get a little run going for Derek or just a few more putts to fall for Ed, they are both on the verge of just busting out. I just love the consistency of how both are playing under par virtually every round. Both only had a couple of mistakes that kept them from scoring lower.

It was just one of those things, and I just never could get comfortable with the shot I had. I was either trying to hit it too hard or too easy. It's just tough to get it close, but I hung in there and just tried to stay positive. The good thing was I just struggled to make a par or bogey.

Any time you shoot under par on the South Course, you're very happy. They made that course into a monster, especially with the rough they have.

Smart is book knowledge combined with first hand experience. Paying attention to all dimensions of experiences happening creates a dimensionality in your understanding that is par none. Smart is tuning in. Smart is tuning up.

The fairway looks like a 'P' now. I have to change my par (and perhaps play for bogey). It's going to be really difficult.

I'm trying to keep Couch on this tour, ... I played pretty good. I hit the ball pretty good today. I was a little disappointed with the three- putt par on 18.

In January, traditionally a light month for advertising, revenues were on a par with those of the same period last year.

In local races, unless there's an overriding issue, and there isn't here, it's going to be more of a personality race. The finances are in pretty good shape. Traffic is terrible, but that's par for the course. Without any overriding issues, it's going to be personalities.

I knew it was four days, there was no cut this week, and I knew the way the course was playing, the scores would come back a little bit. Anything around par was a good score.

I knew he knew what was going on. I knew he was trying to break par out there. You could see it in his eyes. I was trying to get out of his way.

I'm really happy. I made four big par saves with some good chips and putts and was happy to shoot the same score as Vijay. If I can continue to match him, I think I will be doing alright.

I'm pretty satisfied with four decent rounds, to shoot under par over four days on a course like this, especially in the final round when the wind was blowing.

I haven't been playing very well, but nobody cares but my wife. It's good to be under par for the start.
